Chapter 745: Those with Units are Usually Useless
Chapter 745: Those with Units are Usually Useless
As Arroniero watched the night city's bare hands catch the naginata, he instantly exerted strength in an attempt to pull his Zanpakuto free.
But to his horror, the Zanpakuto held firmly by his opponent refused to budge, no matter how hard he tried to pull it out.
Arroniero, determined to free his blade, even unleashed a powerful Spiritual Pressure.
This Spiritual Pressure, gained from consuming 33,650 Hollows, was so immense that when it was fully unleashed, it caused the entire palace to tremble slightly.
Feeling Arroniero's sudden surge of power, Hinamori Momo and Kuchiki Rukia, who were observing not far away, anxiously turned to look at Sui-Feng beside them. "Captain Sui-Feng, should we..."
"There's no need to meddle. With this level of Spiritual Pressure, there's no way this Arrancar can be his match."
Compared to Hinamori and Rukia's anxious expressions, Daizen Jin, who had been quietly observing from the rear, remained calm.
He acknowledged the strength of the Night City.
If even the Night City couldn't defeat this opponent, then it would likely be futile for everyone here to join forces.
In such a situation, Daizen's advantage as the Vice-Captain of the Secret Mobile Corps would become apparent—a flexible fat man wasn't a joke.
Of course, this wasn't because Daizen was afraid of fighting; he still needed to preserve his strength to deal with Barragan.
He had no interest in fighting the Espada, considering them mere small fry.
So, if the Night City team were to fail, Daizen would undoubtedly return to the Soul Society as quickly as possible... to call for reinforcements.
"Impossible! This can't be happening! I possess the power of thirty thousand Hollows; how could something so absurd occur?"
Arroniero, having unleashed his Spiritual Pressure, was using all his might, but the blade held by the Night City remained unmoved.
Witnessing this, Arroniero's mental state began to unravel.
He had believed that with the power of thirty thousand Hollows, he was invincible, and a Soul Reaper Captain was nothing more than a weakling.
But the current situation far exceeded Arroniero's expectations.
He wasn't wrong; as the Night City had said, most of the over thirty thousand Hollows Arroniero had consumed were Gillian.
Even Gillian were Menos Grande, and it wasn't easy for an average Soul Reaper to defeat them.
So why was he, with the power of thirty thousand Hollows, feeling so powerless now? Could the Soul Reaper Captains truly be that strong?
Due to consuming the past's Shihouzu, Arroniero also had access to the Night City's memories.
In Shihouzu's memories, the Night City was merely an "ordinary" Soul Reaper.
"Let me tell you a joke. The Soul Society's Sokyoku, in its released state, is said to possess the destructive power of one million Zanpakuto. Yet, it was blocked by a Shikai-state Zanpakuto.
So, the power of your thirty thousand Hollows, in my eyes, is nothing impressive.
When you use a unit of measurement to gauge your strength, you're already setting yourself up for failure.
It's common knowledge that those used as units of measurement are rarely capable fighters. If others don't consider you a unit of measurement, why would you use it for yourself? You're the one heading for defeat, not them."
Arroniero couldn't understand most of what the Night City said, but he clearly realized the gap in strength between them.
As he was about to abandon his Zanpakuto and flee, a white lightning bolt suddenly erupted from another of Yecheng's fingers, piercing through Yaronilo's chest.
"I've wasted enough time; I might as well finish you off quickly. It's quite uncomfortable to keep watching her face and torment her like this," Yecheng said.
Although Yecheng knew that the current "Shihouzu" was Yaronilo, if Haiyan and the real Shihouzu were to find out that he was currently beating up Shihouzu's body, the two of them would probably be in a difficult situation.
The current Yishen Yegod Yuzu was still manageable, but Haiyan, that guy, was a wife-protector maniac...
Seeing Yecheng using "White Lightning" to pierce through Yaronilo's heart and then delivering a heavy hammer blow, sending Yaronilo crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater, Lucia and Hirasen Tao, who had been quite worried before, now showed expressions of admiration.
Was Yaronilo weak? To be honest, after consuming thirty thousand Hueco Mundo entities and being able to transform into Shihouzu, his strength was indeed formidable.
Especially Yaronilo's Zanpakuto Spirit, "Shixu," originally possessed the ability to devour the spiritual pressure and skills of other Hueco Mundo entities.
After devouring Metastacia, it gained the ability to fuse with Metastacia's spiritual body.
In other words, after consuming Metastacia, whether it was a Hueco Mundo entity or a Shinigami, Yaronilo could devour them and make their power his own, thus giving Yaronilo the potential for "infinite evolution."
If Yaronilo were placed in a fantasy novel, with such a background and ability, he would be a weak-to-strong protagonist.
However, unfortunately, in the Shinigami World, he was just an extra with little presence.
If it weren't for Yaronilo's weakness being too obvious, with his brain being housed in a fragile test tube container, the original Lucia in the story would have had no chance of winning.
However, facing such a formidable enemy, Yecheng didn't target his weakness and didn't even use his Zanpakuto. Instead, he directly took down his opponent with three punches and two kicks.
This wasn't because Yaronilo was weak but because Yecheng was too strong.
There was no other way; as the shared worlds increased, the Hair Gel Guy, who he once considered a formidable opponent, now seemed less intimidating upon reflection.
Although his chest was pierced, Yaronilo still didn't die. After all, his fatal weakness was the test tube container holding his two brains.
"You can't kill me. If you do, Shihouzu's soul and spiritual body will completely dissipate.
You said it yourself; she's your friend. Do you want to kill your friend with your own hands? If your dear friend Shihou Haiyan were to find out about this, would he forgive you?"
Yecheng's display of strength left Yaronilo feeling hopeless. Knowing he was no match for his opponent, he didn't give up on his last glimmer of hope.
After devouring Shihouzu's spiritual body, he could access Shihouzu's past memories, and he also knew about the close relationship between Yecheng and Shihouzu's husband, Shihou Haiyan.
As long as he used this as a threat, he might not be doomed today.
"Release, Crowhive!"
Hearing Yaronilo's words, Suibee, who had been standing by and watching the fight, didn't say much. Instead, she slowly drew her Zanpakuto from her waist and directly released it.
Everyone in the Pure Spirit Court knew that Yecheng had a good relationship with the Shihou family and Shihou Haiyan. To avoid putting Yecheng in a difficult position, Suibee decided to be the bad guy herself.
